Power to spare >/b> Heading east out of Vancouver's Pacific Central station on VIA 002 'The Canadian' mid-afternoon provides for a well-lit scene at CN's Thornton Yard in Surrey, BC. The 11 units visible in this shot are just a small sample of the power that was on display at the shop and yard on this sunny August 31st afternoon. Thornton Yard stretches for miles beyond this point passing the diesel shop, car repair, Engineering facilities, Fleet Services (automotive) and a huge intermodal complex.
